ILLAMASQUA RAIN DROPS NAIL POLISH: We admit, spring rain can actually be quite soothing, and dare we say, pretty- provided we are not caught in it sans umbrella. Illamasqua rain drop lacquers $17 each),  create the mirror-like effect on your digits with tiny pearlized shimmer pigments.

Simply mix the powder with the innovative beauty genius waterproofing gel to create a paste, then apply using short, quick strokes with the precise angled brush.

NAPOLEAN PERDIS AUTO PILOT RADIANCE-BOOSTING PRMER: Getting some sun in between April showers can bea challenge, but Napolean perdis' primer ($55), is an easy way to fake a radiant glow, and also keeps your foundation from shifting.

EYEKO EYE DO LIQUID EYELINER: Ever have your graphic cat-eye transform into a raccoon eye by mid-day? Toss your standard liner for Eyeko's eye do ($19), which creates a precised shape with its pointed felt tip, and as an added bonus, the waterproof formula is infused with a dose of castor oil to promote lash growth.

BOBBY BROWN NO SMUDGE MASCARA: Just like the rest of Bobbi Brown's products, the no smudge mascara ($25), really lives up to its name (MY VERY FAVORITE!!) One sweep is all you need in a boost in definition, and the inky black formula won't flake, feather, or form dark circles along your lower lash line.
